(Los Angeles, CA) – PMBC Group’s online complaint resolution platform, Scambook, weighed in on the increasing aggressive amount of holiday gift card scams on KSTP’s ABC 5 News.
The Holiday season is a time of cheers, joy and giving but this year scammers are planning on giving much more than consumers have ever asked for. The new Target gift card scams have duped victims not only of a $1,000 but also into giving out personal information. After being convinced of winning the gift card, scammers will instead obtain personal information and sell it on the black market. It’s crucial to steer clear from this form of a “gift” by protecting yourself and telling others. Never respond to the text messages and remember to file a complaint, which can be easily filled out via Scambook.com.
